Amari had a great personality. She loved to laugh, draw and write poetry. Amari would carry her stuffed animal “Mossy” around with her for security and wouldn't let anyone touch it… she loved her Mossy. 

Amari's favorite flower was a lilly. She would say how beautiful and delicate they were and loved their smell. Amari loved nature, walking in the park and hoping to see unique animals along her way. Amari had struggles and always got through them. Amari loved to sing all kinds of music including opera. When Amari would laugh, you felt it, deep in your heart. Something we could never forget and the joy and smile on her face. Amari believed in accomplishing so much in life like going to nursing school, having children of her own and getting married to the love of her life. Amari won’t be able to accomplish those dreams, but she has accomplished many other things that she put her all in. She is now with the Lord and pain free and now looking over her family and friends.
